On the basis of morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the LSU rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, they were assigned to a novel species of the genus Hannaella. The closest relative to the novel species was Hannaella pagnoccae, but it showed 6.3 % nucleotide differences (34 nt substitutions out of 541 nt) in the D1/D2 region of the LSU rRNA gene and 9.3–9.6 % nucleotide differences (40–41 substitutions and 7–8 gaps out of 430 nt) in the ITS region. The name Hannaella dianchiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM-HL1107T (=CBS 14191T=CCTCC AY 2015009T), and the MycoBank number is MB 816297. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001908
